LBig Ben, which marks the hours for
:parliament at the top of the clock tow
er at Westminster. is bigger than it ap
p~ara froqi below. Looking at the dial
~f Big Ben from the northern foot wayv
of Great George street or from the-'
Thames embankment, it appears as if
its diameter might be equal to tihe
ospace that a man of medium size coul
e cover with outstretched arms. As a
Ymatter of fact, however, the diameter
of the dial is twenty-three feet. Fromn
the ground the minute marks on the
dial look like ordinary muiuute marks
and as if they were close together.
Rleally they are a foot apart. The nu
merals ore two feet long. The miute
hand, with its counter balance-the
heavy piece of Lthetal that projects be
o yond the center of the dial-is tifteen
feet in length. This hand is so massive
that during a snowstorm the clock is
sometimes retarded by the weight of
the tlakes that alight on it.-Londoil
